    I think the key factor might be the container

    You're used to drinking from a can and buying soda at your local store because it's more "convenient"

    Get a glass bottle, fill it with water and stuff it in your backpack

    I know for a fact if I would just buy a 12 pack of bottled water I'd drink it and resist my normal pop drinking for the most part. I just always forget to get it at the store and end up picking up 12 packs of pop instead

    You don't need bottled water tbh

    I mean it might depend where you live but for the most part tap water is just fine and in some cases even better than bottled water

    Read this:

    I understand that you're not interested in exercise but you'd be taking a good first step by just cutting it out

    I drink at least two 48 oz hydro flasks a day, plus another 20 oz bottle when I go running. And I usually have a can of Dasani fizzy water also, since it's free at my work. Sometimes I buy the Lacroix brand at home cuz those are usually better flavors. Fizzy water + coffee helped me quit soda about a year ago :emoji_thumbsup:

    my only sink is my bathroom one and its s---, and it's about the habbit. Bottled water works because I'm use to grabbing something out of the fridge and cracking it open and then just drinking it

    All I drink is water and coffee. Tried to replace coffee with tea for a while. Not my thing.

    At least 3 water bottles. Water is really the only thing I drink. I don't drink much of anything else.

    3 litres or so daily, keep the 1 litre nalgene by my side at all times, major key

    no sense paying for bottled water if your city's tap water is safe...if you're from Flint or one of the other communities with tainted water you've got bigger problems anyway

    You mean like actual water? Honestly....none. But it's starting to get hot so I'll probably attempt to start drinking it. It makes me vomit for some reason.

    I usually drink two 40 oz hydro flasks per day, and lately 1-2 cans of sparkling water.

    I heard it's good to drink 1/2 your weight (pounds) in water (ounces) so I'm good I think

    water in meat etc count as well, did you count that? It's pretty easy to hit the goal imo
